Design of wormlike automated robotic endoscope: dynamic interaction between endoscopic balloon and surrounding tissues.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: The current design of capsule endoscope is limited by the inability to control the motion within gastrointestinal tract. The rising incidence of gastrointestinal cancers urged improvement in the method of screening endoscopy.

Development and Validation of a Novel Robotic Procedure Specific Simulation Platform: Partial Nephrectomy.

The Journal of urology
PURPOSE: We developed a novel procedure specific simulation platform for robotic partial nephrectomy. In this study we prospectively evaluate its face, content, construct and concurrent validity.

Crimped braided sleeves for soft, actuating arm in robotic abdominal surgery.

Minimally invasive therapy & allied technologies : MITAT : official journal of the Society for Minimally Invasive Therapy
BACKGROUND: This paper investigates different types of crimped, braided sleeve used for a soft arm for robotic abdominal surgery, with the sleeve required to contain balloon expansion in the pneumatically actuating arm while it follows the required b...

A miniaturized robotic platform for natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery: in vivo validation.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) involves accessing the abdominal cavity via one of the body natural orifices for enabling minimally invasive surgical procedures. However, the constraints imposed by the access modal...

Robotic natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (R-NOTES): literature review and prototype system.

Minimally invasive therapy & allied technologies : MITAT : official journal of the Society for Minimally Invasive Therapy
In minimally invasive surgery methods such as laparoscopic surgery, surgical instruments are introduced through small incisions to minimize patient trauma and recovery times. To reduce the number of incisions, new techniques such as natural orifice t...

A novel semi-automatic snake robot for natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery: preclinical tests in animal and human cadaver models (with video).

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is an emerging surgical technique. We aimed to design, create, and evaluate a new semi-automatic snake robot for NOTES.

A novel flexible hyper-redundant surgical robot: prototype evaluation using a single incision flexible access pelvic application as a clinical exemplar.

Surgical endoscopy
INTRODUCTION: The flexible endoscope is increasingly being considered as a surgical tool to enable innovative natural orifice or flexible access techniques. These experiences have exposed unique advantages but also significant challenges. Major curre...

Enhanced needle localization in ultrasound using beam steering and learning-based segmentation.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Segmentation of needles in ultrasound images remains a challenging problem. In this paper, we introduce a machine learning-based method for needle segmentation in 2D beam-steered ultrasound images. We used a statistical boosting approach to train a p...

Machine learning based on pangenome-wide association studies reveals the impact of host source on the zoonotic potential of closely related bacterial pathogens.

Communications biology
Variations in host species significantly impact bacterial growth traits and antibiotic resistance, making it essential to consider host origin when evaluating the zoonotic potential of pathogens. This study focuses on multiple Brucella species, which...
